Praia de Acaú, Sandy beach in Pitimbu, Brazil.
The beach presents a continuous 4.7-kilometer stretch of golden sand along the coast of Paraíba state, with natural pools forming at low tide.
The region of Pitimbu developed as a coastal settlement, with the name originating from Tupi indigenous language meaning 'water spring of smoke'.
Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing practices, supplying fresh seafood to beachfront restaurants that prepare regional Brazilian coastal dishes.
The beach remains accessible throughout the year, with September through December offering favorable conditions due to warm temperatures and reduced rainfall.
Natural tidal pools emerge during low tide, creating protected areas for swimming and observing small marine life in the clear waters.
